Description

A great Suzani is truly a joy to behold. The rising flowers in this one are widely varied and rainbow in colour, a real sparkler. Intensely dyed silks are tightly worked, close together in this labour of love- literally- for these gorgeous displays were made as dowries, and brought in to the marriage as a demonstration of the brides needlework skill and indicative of how well she might earn. Good embroidery was a source of wealth which could be bartered for things that were needed or sold for hard cash. The better the embroidery, the higher the value. Circa 1850 and patched in three places with some Shakarisabz embroidery- possibly even older and rarer.

5'6" x 8'2" price includes VAT @ 20%

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this piece to the 1850s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
